I won $82.73 in Netflix's new Best Guess Live game tonight. 😁 Nice way to end 2025.

So nice to have been able to fly directly from Frankfurt to St. Louis.
December 28, 2025 at 9:30 PM
It's 71°F here in St. Louis, but it will drop to the 20s tonight.

It has been fun Germany (and France too), but after two weeks and one major holiday, it is time to go home.

Auf Wiedersehen!

Great spot to see the Queen of the Skies. #frankfurt #747

The Hilton & Hilton Garden Inn at FRA are super convenient. Just a short walk to the terminal.

Check-in, border control, and security were nearly empty so now we're in the Lufthansa lounge and all set for our flight later. Could have slept in longer, but wanted to make the most of lounge time. 🙂

Time to get up for our flight home. Didn't sleep well, and I just checked the Packers score. Ouch...

Just as well we weren't able to watch the last two games while over here.

…and our cruise is over. Had a great time and very much enjoyed our time on the Rhine on Viva Moments.

Now waiting in the lounge for our taxi to the train station and then our train to Frankfurt. We’ll overnight there and fly home tomorrow morning. #ChristmasInGermany25 #VivaCruises #VivaMoments

Our last night on Viva Moments and the first song out of the gate at “Disco Night” is Boney M’s “Daddy Cool”. A+

We saw an ambulance meet a riverboat this morning in Rüdesheim on Rhein, and now we're making an unplanned stop at Oberwesel for a medical emergency onboard. #ChristmasInGermany25 #VivaCruises #VivaMoments

So... We're supposed to have a walking tour this morning to the Abbey of St. Hildegard. It's a 45 minute walk uphill, and the wind chill is 14°F. This seems like not the best way to spend Christmas morning.
December 25, 2025 at 7:03 AM
Merry Christmas from Germany! We're just arriving at Rüdesheim after spending the night at Mainz. This afternoon we sail on to Koblenz. #ChristmasInGermany25 #VivaCruises #VivaMoments

It's cold in Mainz tonight. 31° F but the wind chill is 14° F. Not the best night for a stroll back to the boat from the cathedral. 🥶
December 24, 2025 at 5:55 PM
I haven't been to Mass, let alone a Christmas Mass, in decades, but if you're in Mainz on Christmas Eve, it seems like going to the Cathedral is as good a time as any to go.

We were in Speyer today and elected to stay in town rather than go on the offered Heidelberg tour.

The Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site (like Köln and Aachen) and has 1000+ years of history and a crypt full of emperors and kings. #ChristmasInGermany25 #VivaCruises #speyer
